Only within the arms of someone you love
Can be achieved the sole goal of mankind
To grasp hold the gift that comes from above
To say “I love you” and see their face shine
Only within the arms of someone you love
Can sadness abide beyond what you can bear
So you let them soften the pain you’re made of
As you find comfort in their grip resting there
Only within the arms of someone you love
Can you be in a transcendent ecstasy
In paradise as pure as the holy white dove
The love in their eyes the only thing you see
Only in the arms of someone you love
Can dwell something fragile and yet so strong
Only in the arms of someone you love
Can echo the joys of your love’s beautiful song

Your eyes
I look deep into them as if I'm looking
Into the deepest depths of the ocean
And the slightest change of your emotion
Is like a fish flitting quickly about
And it reveals itself only for me to see
But now
Something has changed
Your eyes
Burn me and wreck me and break me apart
I look into them and see not love
But only the darkness seen from far above
By other people not inside your soul's sea
And the distance slowly breaks my heart
And now again
Something has changed
Your eyes
Invite me in their depths now fully opened
They reveal me the breadth of your thoughts
And I see the beautiful ocean’s deep as I ought
I reside for a moment in this blissful peace
Then I realize the fish are no longer swimming in
Your eyes
Empty now
Gazing back up at me

Complacently living in an unspoken word
Because letting it out is too absurd
And living with this is easier than
Falling and starting from where we began
Because I can’t acknowledge this trial
So I hide the feelings of which it’s compiled
Running from shame and running into it
No one is here to help block this conduit
I'm confused and unsure of what I can do
Relying on ideas I know are untrue
My emotional foundation is so unstable
Because I base all of it on you

Help me to be free.
I live locked inside a cage of culture
The box given to me by society
Circled at birth by my own ethereal vulture
Always stalking me ever so quietly
Help us to be free.
We walk through the same old mazes
As we laugh at the lab rats so oblivious
Knowing we’re so similar never does faze us
It covers up the reality far too hideous
Help them to be free.
You must understand the one release
The only true escape from this hamster wheel
A swift realization and blanketing peace
Understanding the truth lies not in what we feel
But looking within
Sets us free.

Just take one look
At the vibrance all around
Just one moment
To see the life in the ground
Enjoy those things
The growth below and above
Hold someone tight
Take them and bask in their love

It’s those heathen *************
Who have life so nice and easy
They go and find their broken lovers
But all I find is love broken in pieces
So what makes my life so **** hard,
And theirs such a ******* breeze?
I work so hard to play my part
And they get ****** in blissful peace
I’ll never have a sinner’s heart
But sometimes I can’t swim these seas
Though their soul is falling apart
Sometimes my mind needs that release

I have so much pain and so much rage
Toward the one who built this cage
But look, surprise! That person is me
And all the pain will not be free
Until I can grasp what makes it run
And forgive myself for what I’ve done
It just sounds like a regular time
But it’s very different, this pain is mine.

I must need only desire one release
But too many other musts and needs
Get in the way of my desired life
So my soul tips on the blade of a knife
Oh how sad the human condition
One big mess of love and perdition
Yet sadness drives us to change it all
To lose ourselves in Love’s faithful fall
We fall into that gentle embrace
Removing our mind from that sad place
Bringing us something new and unique
Not of the world, but what we truly seek
To repair our hearts and mend our minds
That needed release we desire to find

Have you ever gone around
The places up above
And lifted from the ground
The dirt we’re made of
Just examined its feeling
Its veiled vitality
And pondered the deep meaning
Its symbolic mortality
We’re stuck in this single plane
Existence without purpose
And a life less exciting
Not seeing the underlying
Truth that this life we live
Always has some more to give
If only we would look up
And look upon the stars lighting up
Vivifying the sky in all of its splendor
Attesting the glory of its creator

It’s like I want to be creative
But I can’t seem to be free ranging
Every way I twist and turn
The rhymes just simply cage me
In this box of indignation
My frustrated contemplation
Over something so enraging
As rhyming with enraging!
But I just dance and tumble
And all the time I stumble
Over that block of writers woe
As my brain is hooked up to a tow
I'm pulled in every wrong direction
And I get farther from discovering
And farther from recovering
From this writer’s block infection
So I’m left to search my consciousness
To remove that tiny pompous wrench
That gets in the way of creativity
And ruins all my poetic activity
